Morrissey DVD title change: "I Could've Been Elvis"
posted by davidt on Thursday June 22 2000, @11:15AM

 Just got the word in, the title for the forthcoming Morrissey DVD has been changed from "Oye Esteban!" to "I Could've Been Elvis". I haven't heard if the Sept. 5 release date has changed.

UPDATE (July 7): The title has been changed back to "Oye Esteban!" for legal reasons.

      I read a article in a Portland, Oregon circulation called,"Arts and Entertainment", said something along the lines of Morrissey recycling his older hits for the OE! tour and that he was an aging crooner in his "fat Elvis" stage. Pissed me right off, but I laughed in their stead.

          you know, it's funny, when i saw him here in boston i thought the same thing. that "this must be what it felt like to see elvis." and morrissey wrote all his songs. i can't think of one song elvis wrote all on his own and didn't steal from another older artist. so in my book Morrissey will always be the true king

            Ha, well one article said that in his PVC jumpsuit (anyone know where I can buy one?) he looked like Elvis on his come back tour and the next album could be a come back to the spotlight for Mozzer. Not that he's out of it at this time.

            But I don't which title is better - Oye Esteban! or I Could've Been Elvis. I'd go for the latter since Esteban was used for the tour.....

                          I am just glad that Morrissey is still alive and putting out stuff. Don't listen to Morrissey Sucks because he is just trying to be negative so when the release comes out he will be happy because he had such low expections. it is obvious that Morrissey Sucks likes Morrissey or he wouldn't spend all of his time posting here.

                                One of Morrissey's great talents has always been lifting a little from his heroes. ("Talent Borrows, Genius Steals")When Moz first walked out on stage in the PVC "comeback" suit I thought it was very appaent where he was tipping his hat. A smart move really....Morrissey associating himself with "the king" and saying "I'm back in top form". He is and I think we'll see some great stuff from him in the years to come.

                                  This has nothing to do with the title of the new dvd, it has to do with the new compilation itself.
                                  Does anyone know whether morrissey agrees for all of his stuff being re-re-re-released every 6 months or not? Because if he does, and please do not misunderstand me, I think that he has a very cynical point of view for his fans;I hope all of these "new" releases are just a result of the greed of the record companies and not of moz himself. And if you own all of these things in different formats, what is the point in buying them in different packages? This makes other people think of us as pathetic losers who would buy the same song thousands of times, just because it's morrissey.
                                  I still want to believe that moz is the decent man that used to be and I am looking forward to his new stuff, but i won't buy this...

And Moz has a long way to go before being the chubby extremely sweaty man(which is so sad, I'm not trying to make fun of him)that Elvis turned out to be. Morrissey IS the king...And he could have been Elvis but that would have sucked because he would be dead before I could have seen him live...
